Nice design
I can just imagine that females in the army opens up a whole can of worms...even something as simple as a rifle butt can be an issue.

Many armies around the world currently have women serving. And as of this year, the US Military will be integrating women into combat units as well.
Whatever issues may have arisen, have probably been dealt with or is being done so right now.

not really, at least i wouldn't call it a "whole can of worms" the Russians, Chinese, and Israelis have been recruiting lots of women for a while now (into combat roles mind you) with no apparent problems at all, and obciously they use exactly the same gear as the men.
the Americans though say that they're planning on making special body armor designs specially fit for women.

yeah, back in WW2, though a lot of women joined the regular troops of the red army, a majority of them took on the supporting roles, like snipers, machine-gunners, artillerists, Anti-air crews, pilots, truck drivers, and tank crews.
and now they're even letting women into the VDV (russia's paratrooper corps) a very prestigious branch in the military, and i hear some even make into spetsnaz. all the women in the Chinese army alone already outnumber the US army (no surprise, you know the Chinese and their population). and of course i suppose you've seen at least some pics of those pretty girls in the IDF floating around in the internet, but on a darker note, quite a fair share of the IDF's harsher actions were committed by the women in their ranks.

Hey, Panzer! In your opinion, which seems like the better option for the new generation of body armour? I've heard promising things about liquid armour that hardens on impact, spreading the force over a wider area. On the other hand, call me a Luddite, but I prefer good, old fashioned, solid armour. Carapace plating, designed to ablate under fire, just seems more tried and true, to me. We're still a generation or two off powered skeleton frames, to support some really fancy armour, but until then, which do you think the smart money is on?

The principle behind liquid armor sounds good and interesting as an alternative to the armor plates currently used. But I dont know how effective that will be during actual combat. Or if it will really spread the force of impact around the armor itself and not towards the user. Penetration may be avoided but internal damage may still occur.
For now I'd stick with current types of body armor until whatever new alternatives have been tested enough to ensure they're good.

Theory wise, I would say liquid armour is a great possibility...however, Mythbusters actually tried it with neutonian fluids (turns to solid when hit)....didn't work so well ... the round penetrates before the liquid reacts so they would have to have plating over it and then absorb the remaining force from the plating...that would just be heavy and bulky tho :/ . I would like to see some form of tile based armour like what they have on the Abrams that basically acts like a shield against armor piercing rounds (but obv without the explosive charge of course ... that wuld just turn YOU into a walking bag of C4
).
